Unable to deactivate alert profile
by Ingeborg Hellemo 13 Nov '23

13 Nov '23

NAV 5.7.1 FreeBSD 12.4 Python 3.9 When visiting /alertprofiles/profile/ and choosing "Deactivate" on a profile we get an error. Since this is not something we do every day I'm not sure if this began after upgrading to 5.7.1 or if it has been broken for a while. During last upgrade I also upgraded python from 3.8 to 3.9 which could have introduced the error. Internal Server Error: /alertprofiles/profile/remove/ RuntimeError at /alertprofiles/profile/remove/ dictionary keys changed during iteration Request Method: POST Request URL: https://nav.uit.no/alertprofiles/profile/remove/ Django Version: 3.2.23 Python Executable: Python Version: 3.9.18 Python Path: ['/usr/local/lib/python39.zip', '/usr/local/lib/python3.9', '/usr/local/lib/python3.9/lib-dynload', '/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages ', '/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages', '/etc/nav/python'] Server time: Mon, 13 Nov 2023 09:25:39 +0100 Installed Applications: ('nav.models', 'nav.web', 'nav.django', 'django.contrib.staticfiles', 'django.contrib.sessions', 'django.contrib.humanize', 'django_filters', 'crispy_forms', 'crispy_forms_foundation', 'rest_framework', 'nav.auditlog', 'nav.web.macwatch', 'nav.web.geomap', 'nav.portadmin.napalm', 'nav.web.portadmin', 'django.contrib.postgres') Installed Middleware: ('django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware', 'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware', 'nav.web.auth.AuthenticationMiddleware', 'nav.web.auth.AuthorizationMiddleware', 'nav.django.legacy.LegacyCleanupMiddleware', 'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware') Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/django/core/handlers/exception.p y", line 47, in inner response = get_response(request) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py", line 181, in _get_response response = wrapped_callback(request, *callback_args, **callback_kwargs) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/nav/web/alertprofiles/decorators .py", line 47, in _handler return func(request, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/nav/web/alertprofiles/views.py", line 316, in profile_remove for data in post: Exception Type: RuntimeError at /alertprofiles/profile/remove/ Exception Value: dictionary keys changed during iteration Request information: USER: [unable to retrieve the current user] GET: No GET data POST: deactivate=1004 = 'Deactivate' FILES: No FILES data More logs avaliable. --Ingeborg -- Ingeborg Østrem Hellemo -- ingeborg.hellemo(a)uit.no Dep. of Information Technology --- Univ. of Tromsø

nav installation
by Kejvan Redjamand 13 Okt '23

13 Okt '23

Hi, I have had problems installing nav 57.1-2 on a Debian 11 from NAV repository with 'apt install nav'. The installation give the following warning, you have the choice to click OK. Database initialization failed │ │ Script output: │ │ Traceback (most recent call last): │ File "/usr/sbin/navsyncdb", line 2, in <module> │ from nav.pgsync import main │ ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'nav' <Ok> It is not possible to run "sudo -u postgres navsyncdb" after the installation either, same error message, for the same reason as above. I found that the symlinks are setup somehow wrong for nav binaries installed. I'm not a good python programmer but probably the virtual env is not setup or configured as it should. /opt/venvs/nav/bin# ls -l python* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Sep 18 14:09 python -> /usr/bin/python3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Sep 18 14:09 python3 -> python lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Sep 18 14:09 python3.9 -> python because in my case: /usr/bin/python3 -> python3.11 And ### /opt/venvs/nav/pyvenv.cfg home = /usr implementation = CPython version_info = 3.9.2.final.0 virtualenv = 20.4.0+ds include-system-site-packages = false base-prefix = /usr base-exec-prefix = /usr base-executable = /usr/bin/python3 So I chnged base-executable to /usr/bin/python3.9 And the links to /opt/venvs/nav/bin# rm python /opt/venvs/nav/bin# ln -s /usr/bin/python3.9 python So everything points to Python 3.9.2. Now with every attempt for installation of any package I get: Configuring nav │ │ Attempt to modify config file /etc/nav/db.conf failed │ │ │ Script output: │ │ <Ok> It seems that dpkg wants to run post installations and something goes wrong. And this output: Configuring nav │ │ Database initialization failed │ │ Script output: │ │ connection to server at "localhost" (::1), port 5432 failed: FATAL: │ password authentication failed for user "nav" │ connection to server at "localhost" (::1), port 5432 failed: FATAL: │ password authentication failed for user "nav" │ │ Creating database nav owned by nav │ │ <Ok> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) I have tried to drop the database, creating new database, changing the password, set the password other ways, uninstall nav and reinstall but without any results. I am out of ideas and any help is appreciated. Fixing the instalation scripts or Python venvs is it possible to do? Kind Regards, Kejvan

Setting device group for a device through API
by Håvard Ose Nordstrand 15 Sep '23

15 Sep '23

Hi! We're using a Python script to import devices from a Cisco DNA inventory, but I can't seem to find a way to set a device group for the devices through the API. I'm using PATCH with the "/api/1/netbox/{netbox_id}/" endpoint, but as far as I can understand from the source code, it only supports certain special attributes like "organizationid", "roomid" etc. and not arbitrary device attributes. Is this implemented? If not, would it be easy for me to implement a new API endpoint attribute for this or would this tie into a lot of other things? -- Med vennlig hilsen Håvard Ose Nordstrand Overingeniør – Faggruppe Nett NTNU IT, Drift [cid:8e2b2110-e280-4f3f-8c21-434fb33f3b8b]

NAV with Cisco 3850

Hi, we have a 3850 Stack with 3x ES-C3850-48T-S and 5x WS-C3850-12X48U. When we try to PortAdmin and edit a Port we get (see also attached Jpg): „IP device found but has no type“ Any ideas?
